Hamburger Buns Zero Carb Food

LOW CARB HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Scrape the cheese into a food processor with the egg and process until smooth.
• Add the dry ingredients and process until a dough forms. It is very sticky! If it's too sticky to handle, let it cool for a few minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 F and place rack into the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place cheap-o metal pan at the bottom of the oven.
• Divide into 5 equal pieces. Lightly oil hands and roll each portion into a ball. Drop onto the parchment paper and gently flatten slightly with your hand, while still retaining a domed shape. (You will have to experiment with how much to flatten because it's hard to explain accurately.)
• Place 6 ice cubes in the metal pan at the bottom of the oven. Then place the rolls into the oven. This will help the rolls rise and spread.
• Bake for 12 minutes or until the outside has browned. They will still be soft, so let them cool before removing from the baking sheet. Once cool, store in a bag in the refrigerator. Warm slightly to enjoy.
• Keep burger buns in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They keep for 7-10 days and also freeze well. Makes 5 small burger buns.*

VERY LOW-CARB HAMBURGER BUN!

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a microwave safe bowl or container.
• Put the bowl/container in the microwave and nuke for 1 minute or until center is set.
• It will billow up in the bowl.
• Leave it in the bowl for another minute then turn it out on a cooling rack and let it cool.
• Once it has cooled take a long bread knife and slice the bun in half and make your hamburger as usual.

"HAMBURGER" BUNS (ZERO CARB!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 175 Celcius).
• Separate your eggs making sure there is absolutely no yolk in the white mixture.
• In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks, cottage cheese, and sweetener until creamy.
• In a larger bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar and beat the whites with an electric mixer on high until fluffy. You want this mixture to be well whipped and quite stiff - under mixing will result in a very runny mixture.
• Carefully fold egg yolk mixture into the egg whites with a large spatula, until evenly mixed. Try not to over-mix, you don't want to loose the 'fluffiness' of the egg whites mixture.
• Spray two cookie sheets with Pam (or fat-free cooking spray).
• With a large spoon "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
• Place cookie sheet the middle rack and set timer for 20 minutes. Now you will need to watch them, because the cooking time may vary on any two batches. Basically, you want them to bake until they become nice and golden brown color (the color of a McDonalds bun).
• Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
